MHA599 Capstone Leading The Organization Through Change

Week 1 Assignment  

U.S. Health Care Systems for Small Populations, Part 1

Your project throughout this course will:

Analyze an existing health care system and evaluate how that system can be improved to better serve the community

Conceive a new or improved health care service, then design a facility to provide that service

Develop the structure, functions, and processes of the facility

Submit an SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation) proposal

Your proposal should be fiscally, socially, ethically, and politically responsible. The goal is to have a net positive benefit to the health care system and the community it serves.

To begin, select an existing health care system in a small U.S. city preferably in the state where you live. The city should have a population of less than 200,000.

 Create a 700- to 1,050–word profile of the city you selected along with details like:

Map of the city

Types and locations of medical services

Demographics (population, age, gender, etc.)

Income and employment

Residential details

 Include a rationale of why you selected the city, including if you have any prior experience or knowledge about the existing health care system in that city.
